Congratulations! Nerves are normal, so just keep thinking about all of the reasons you decided to have surgery. I felt like a kid waiting for Christmas morning!! The first days can get rough, but luckily it all improves rather quickly for most. The best bit of advice I ever got was to keep sipping fluids and walk walk walk! It will help your soreness to go away so much faster when you walk. I didn't even have pain on the ride home from the hospital, so it works! Also it helps keep your blood moving so you have less risk for blood clots. Stay positive and be patient with yourself. Best wishes, and keep posting to let us know how you are doing.

Thank you! From your tickers it looks like you are doing great. I hope to have that kind of success. :)

I was so nervous last night I couldn't even 'eat' my last 'meal'.. I actually had to take a anti-nausea pill. They have actually moved may surgery up 2 hours for tomorrow. I got super excited and then seriously nervous again. I pray yours goes well!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
